Protecting Minors

Safe Play Hub

We are fully committed to the prevention of underage gambling here at Fruity King, and it is an issue that we take very seriously.

In line with UK law, our platform is strictly for users who are 18 and over, while we have a cutting-edge age verification process to help with this. 

This page of our Safe Play Hub is for parents and guardians to help safeguard children from the dangers of underage gambling. Together, we can make sure that gambling stays safe and legally age-appropriate.

Why Protecting Minors Matters

This is an issue that is taken seriously by Fruity King and the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission).

  • Gambling is strictly for adults – underage gambling can lead to serious harm.
  • It is a shared responsibility to protect minors – families, regulators, and platforms are all accountable.
  • When you follow these practices, you are assisting with creating a safe environment for young people.

How Fruity King Provides Underage Access

We take significant steps to make sure that anyone under the age of 18 cannot access our gambling platform.

Age Verification Process

  • As a new player, you are required to confirm your date of birth.
  • Your account is not activated until your identity documents are verified.
  • We use trusted third-party verification systems to increase accuracy and speed.

KYC (Know Your Customer) Checks

  • You will be asked to provide a form of government-approved identification, proof of address and payment verification.
  • With these, it ensures compliance with the UKGC and prevents misuse of identity (fraud).

 

Step Action Required Purpose
1 Enter date of birth Initial age declaration
2 Upload of ID Legal confirmation of age
3 System verification Cross-check with databases
4 Manual review (if necessary) Added security for suspicious cases

UK Laws On Underage Gambling

Getting an idea about the legal framework assists in explaining why these steps are important.

  • Under UK law, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble at an online platform or in person. 
  • The UKGC enforces strict rules on underage access.
  • For any breaches, gambling operators can face heavy fines and even suspension of their license.
  • Fruity King is fully licensed by the UKGC, upholds all verification processes and is monitored on a regular basis.

Tips For Parents And Guardians

Protecting children from the dangers of gambling starts at home and the following tips can help to minimise the risks.

Have An Open Conversation About Gambling

  • Make sure children understand that gambling is not a game.
  • Talk in terms that children can comprehend about the dangers of gambling, which adequately explains the risks.
  • Be encouraging about them having open conversations with you about online behaviour and peer pressure.

Make Use Of Parental Controls And Monitoring Devices

  • Make sure that child locks, website filters and screen time limits are enabled.
  • Check device histories for gambling-related activity.
  • Use software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or Google Family Link that helps to manage access.

Be Aware Of Gambling-Like Features In Games

  • Be especially aware of gamification elements such as loot boxes and in-game purchases.
  • These can be particularly dangerous for younger users who may not be aware that this is a form of gambling.

Make Sure To Take Action Early

Educating children about the dangers of gambling from an early age can be key in helping to shape healthy attitudes. 

Making sure you stay engaged with your child’s online activity is essential. You should reach out to professional services such as GamCare if you believe that you suspect any risky behaviour. 

You can also explore our Safe Play Hub, where you can find other helpful resources and articles about responsible gambling. 

Meanwhile, your friendly customer support team is always available to help if you have any questions or concerns.
